Microsoft's co-founder and former CEO is the latest luminary from the world of technology and science to warn against the threat of smart machines:
Bill Gates has a warning for humanity: Beware of artificial intelligence in the coming decades, before it's too late.
Microsoft's co-founder joins a list of science and industry notables, including famed physicist Stephen Hawking and Internet innovator Elon Musk, in calling out the potential threat from machines that can think for themselves. Gates shared his thoughts on AI on Wednesday in a Reddit "AskMeAnything" thread, a Q&A session conducted live on the social news site that has also featured President Barack Obama and World Wide Web founder Tim Berners-Lee.
"I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence," Gates said in response to a question about the existential threat posed by AI. "First, the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage it well. A few decades after that, though, the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern."

These are some pretty smart people, so I think we should pay attention to what they are saying.
But I believe it's already "too late". The Google-CIA-NSA-Pentagon complex is charging full speed ahead toward the creation of Skynet and self-aware machine intelligence. No one can stop them.
Let me repeat that: NO ONE CAN STOP THEM.
And once we reach The Singularity, our sun will have set.
Enjoy the time we have left.
